Cross-border real-estate signings.

One Washington State notary, both directions: Canadians closing on U.S. property, and Canadian purchases, sales and mortgages signed on the U.S. side of the border — without a trip back to Canada.

01

Two directions. One notary.

Every cross-border real-estate file lands in one of two buckets — and we handle both, from the same desk in Washington State.

Property in the United States

You're in Canada — or anywhere near the border — closing a purchase, sale, refinance or HELOC on U.S. property. We take the escrow package, meet you in Washington, sign it wet-ink with a physical notary seal, and return it to your title company on deadline.

Property in Canada

You're on the U.S. side with a Canadian purchase, sale or mortgage to sign. Acting as agent for your Canadian notary, lawyer or title insurer, we complete the in-person signing portion here in Washington State — so nobody has to fly home to sign.

02

U.S. property: wet-ink escrow signings, done right.

Full escrow packages for purchase, sale, refinance, seller and HELOC closings — signed in person, in black ink, with a physical notary seal. Background-checked and trusted by major title companies.

Our focus is wet-ink country: the many U.S. states and county recording offices that still require original signatures and a physical stamp on deeds, mortgages and other recordable instruments — for purchases and sales as much as for loans. That is exactly what an in-person Washington signing delivers, and we have closed packages for property in Hawaii, California and other states without the signer ever leaving the Pacific Northwest.

Directly from escrow
Email the package and signing instructions. Our fee can ride the settlement statement and be paid at closing — no card required from the signer at the table.
Through your signing platform
We accept assignments via Snapdocs, Jot by Endpoint (signwithjot.com), NotaryDash, BancServ (bancserv.net — Fidelity National Financial family signings) and ServiceLink.

If your title company runs its own vendor-onboarding process, chances are we have already completed it — and if not, we will go through your onboarding so your closing isn't the thing that waits.

All company and platform names are trademarks of their respective owners and are listed only as channels through which we accept signing assignments. No endorsement, approval or affiliation is implied.

03

Canadian property: your agent on the U.S. side.

Your B.C. notary, Canadian lawyer or title insurer prepares and registers the transaction. We handle the part that has to happen in person — in Washington State.

We cannot execute or register a Canadian real-estate transaction ourselves, and we don't pretend to. What we do, at the direction of the Canadian professional on the file, is the in-person signing portion: verify government-issued ID, witness every signature exactly as the name appears on title, and notarize the documents that must be executed before a Notary Public.

Canadian lender and land-title packages routinely provide for signing outside the province — B.C. mortgage forms, for instance, must then be executed before a Notary Public rather than a Commissioner for Oaths. That is exactly what a Washington State commission provides on the U.S. side of the border.

For the signer: no flight, no ferry, no day off to travel to Canada — we come to you, anywhere in Washington State. For the Canadian professional: one accountable agent who prints the package, attends the signing, returns scanbacks the same day and couriers the originals back on deadline.

What the notary actually does on a signing

The same discipline on every file, whether it arrives from a U.S. escrow office or a Canadian title insurer:

  1. 01Schedule inside your deadline. Signing instructions carry a sign-by date; we book promptly, because a missed date can mean re-attendance fees and a delayed closing.
  2. 02Print and prepare. The full package on letter-size paper, reviewed against the instruction sheet and document checklist before anyone signs.
  3. 03Verify and witness. Government-issued ID checked; signers sign in black ink, exactly as their name appears on title; no alterations to the documents.
  4. 04Notarize. Acknowledgments, jurats and affidavits, and the notarial certificates the package calls for — wet signature, physical seal.
  5. 05Scan back the same day. Many instructions require the executed package back within 24 hours of signing; we scan and upload to your portal, or email it, the same day.
  6. 06Return the originals. Wet-ink originals go back by courier per the distribution instructions, and the signer keeps their copy set.

We witness and certify — we don't advise. A signing agent is not permitted to answer questions about your loan or contract terms; those go to your lender, your escrow officer, or the Canadian professional on the file.

05

Built for both sides of the file.

Individuals close one deal; title companies and Canadian notaries close hundreds. The service is shaped for each:

Individuals

Title & escrow companies

Assign directly by email or through your platform. Settlement-statement billing, same-day scanbacks, tracked return shipping, and onboarding paperwork handled without chasing.

B.C. notaries & Canadian lawyers

A standing U.S.-side agent for your Washington-resident signers. Send the package and instructions; we return the executed originals and confirmations on your timeline.

Common questions

Can you notarize my Canadian mortgage or property documents in Washington?

Yes. When your Canadian package provides for execution outside the province before a Notary Public — as B.C. mortgage and land-title forms do — we verify your ID, witness your signatures and notarize here in Washington, at the direction of your Canadian notary, lawyer or title insurer. They remain the professionals who complete and register the transaction in Canada.

Do I pay up front?

Escrow-assigned U.S. signings are usually billed to the file and appear on your settlement statement at closing. Direct bookings are US$150 flat for a standard signing package, plus a travel fee from US$75 for mobile appointments. Cards, PayPal, Venmo and Interac e-Transfer (in Canadian dollars) are all accepted.

How do title companies send you work?

Directly by email with the package and signing instructions, or as an assignment through Snapdocs, Jot by Endpoint, NotaryDash, BancServ or ServiceLink. If your company uses its own vendor-onboarding process, we'll complete it for your file.

Is this Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

No — deliberately. Cross-border real estate is the classic wet-ink case: many U.S. recording offices, and the Canadian land-title packages we see, expect original signatures and a physical seal. Every signing on this page is in person.

Can you prepare the documents for me?

I am not an attorney licensed to practice law in this state. I am not allowed to draft legal records, give advice on legal matters, including immigration, or charge a fee for those activities.

Ready to close

Send the package. We'll take it from there.

Escrow officers and Canadian notaries — email the package and signing instructions, and we'll confirm the appointment the same business day. Individuals — call or book online, and we'll find a time and a meeting point that fits your closing date.
